  • 21. Andy Frasco on the music industry, mental health, and the rock and roll lifestyle
    Andy Frasco is quite the personality. He fronts the really fun band Andy Frasco & The U.N., hosts a mental health podcast called Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast, and has been obsessed with the music industry since a kid – even drawing up "contracts" with himself when most kids would rather play video games. We sit down and talk about his journey as an artist, mental health, substance abuse, and how he's now working to make the world a healthier place.
